The South Road plant stand
There’s something delightfully rural and old-fashioned about shopping at roadside honour stands. Take what you want, figure out how much you owe, and leave your money in the jar – how much simpler could it be?
I like to buy plants at this stand on South Road. Have you been there? It’s between Silva Bay and the Gabriola Community Hall, on the towards-the-ocean side of the street.
When I was by the other day the plants for sale included basil, tomatoes, acorn squash, peppers, and five or six different kinds of flowers.
I like the sign on the top shelf. It reminds shoppers that HONESTY IS A VIRTUE.
